Operated by the Children's Home Society of Florida, Joshua House provides emergency shelter care and residential group care services for abused, abandoned, and neglected children. This safe, nurturing environment helps children heal from the pain they've experienced in their young lives. Joshua House is the realization of a dream of a small group of concerned citizens committed to giving abused children a safe haven. The beautiful country setting of our 5 spacious homes, just minutes north of Tampa, provides a safe haven for up to 60 children.

The Knights of the Krewe of St. John sponsored Christmas for these wonderful children, assuring each and every child had a special Holiday Season.  We cooked hamburgers, chicken, hot dogs and had a wonderful afternoon.  Our thanks go out to the men and women of Hillsborough County who donated gifts.
